To get to the trailhead, turn left from Egan just before the Herbert River and then turn right at the T. It's only about a mile or so away from Egan. The trail starts off in the woods, and there are still icy patches in the early Spring time. I've come to realize that clamp ons or some sort of traction on your boots are really necessary if you want to enjoy some of these trails in Juneau before the summer. Once out of the woods, you come out on the meadow and you see Eagle Beach across the river. A little further down and you hit the beach. There are multiple ways you can get to either Crow Point or the Boy Scout Camp. We went to neither this time around because it was raining. The walk along the beach is really nice though, since there was no one else out there. It sounds like a popular trail though, so I reckon it's a bit more crowded when the weather is nice. The book I have says the trail is a 1.5 miles one way, but it seemed like it was a little longer than that. Bit hard to tell. There's amost no elevation gain so should be doable in the winter if it's groomed.
